Hallo everyone,
I am not able to use my Sony Vaio VGN-B1VP without adding i915.modeset=1
to the Kernel Commandline. If I am going to try to boot it without that
setting the Laptop freezes as soon as the X-Server comes up. It is
impossible the switch to VT, use the SysRQ-Keys (e.g. Alt-Print-R for
Reboot) or login remotely via OpenSSH.
Here is the interesting part of lspci -vvnn:

I am sorry for you that keeping KMS disabled for every i855 chipset is
not the best choice you could have made.
Bye, Stan.
